HW: I Talk to Planets, baby

I picked it up a few months ago.  It's okay.  I haven't actually had a
chance to use it with sound, since my MDI 4x drives (Toshiba OEM) at home
(nor at work for that matter) will recognize it.  I've played some with it
on my Sony 4x drive at work, where I don't have a sound card and it's really
spacey and trippy.

If you have older CD-ROM drives, definitely don't get it, since they won't
recognize the CD Plus format.  Most newer ones should work okay.
